"Hello, Edward," the nurse greets me in a friendly and sympathetic voice. No doubt she's heard about my situation.
"Hi," I reply, not remembering her name. I know I've seen her before but I'm not sure we were ever introduced.
"How are you?" she asks while she's replacing Bella's IV bag with a new one. She eyes Bella real quick so I know what she means. I look over at Bella, who seems to be lost in thought with a little frown on her face.
"As good as can be," I say, trying to smile.
"Hope it gets better soon," she says, patting me on the back as she leaves the room, leaving Bella and I alone again.
